gc: improve handling of errors reading gc.log

A collection of minor error handling fixes:

- use an error message in lower case, following the usual style
- quote filenames in error messages to make them easier to read and to
  decrease translation load by matching other 'stat' error messages
- check for and report errors from 'read', too
- avoid being confused by a gc.log larger than INT_MAX bytes

Noticed by code inspection.
